Hi,

 

How can I adjust the zoom in the main view?  In FS9 it was done via the Views menu.  How is it done with FSX?  I want to zoom down to 75%

 

Thanks

Plus or minus key. Sometimes you may need to put the mouse pointer on the screen first and left click then use the plus or minus key.

I press the space bar and move the mouse wheel. This causes the view to zoom in or out. The plus and minus keys (on the normal keyboard, not the num pad) will also zoom in and out. Holding the space bar also puts you in "mouse look" and you can move the viewpoint around. Typically I want to get a closer look at something on the ground, so using mouse look and the wheel works very well to allow me to focus on what I want to see.

 

Holding the shift key while pressing the plus or minus keys will give you fine zoom control if you want something other than the default zoom values.
